Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Human Physiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate hand function assessment is crucial for evaluating neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
  • The Sollerman hand function test is a valuable tool, but normative data and influencing factors require further elucidation.
  • Understanding variations in hand function based on demographics is essential for clinical interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for the timed Sollerman hand function test in a healthy adult population.
  • To investigate the influence of age, gender, dominance, and handedness on hand function test performance.
  • To provide age-adjusted reference curves for the Sollerman hand function test.

Main Methods:

  • 100 healthy volunteers (50 men, 50 women, aged 20-70 years) performed the timed Sollerman hand function test.
  • Time to complete 20 tasks using seven grips was measured for both dominant and non-dominant hands.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to assess the effects of age, gender, dominance, and handedness.

Main Results:

  • Volunteers completed tasks significantly faster with their dominant hand (mean difference of 20 seconds).
  • Strongly right-handed individuals exhibited a more pronounced dominant hand advantage.
  • Women aged 30-40 years showed optimal performance with their dominant hand; performance declined in younger and older groups.
  • Men demonstrated a general decline in performance with increasing age.
  • Centile curves for total task completion time were generated across the 20-70 year age range.

Conclusions:

  • The timed Sollerman hand function test is sensitive to differences in hand function related to dominance and age.
  • Normative data and age-adjusted centile curves are provided, enabling researchers to account for demographic variations.
  • This study enhances the utility of the Sollerman test for clinical research by offering a standardized reference for healthy individuals.
